Chapter 35 Someone wants to get ahead
When it was time to say goodbye in the evening, news came from the Queen's Palace, saying that the concubines did not need to go to say hello.
The queen is the queen, and the queen does not have to answer to anyone for her arrangements.
On the second day of greetings, the palace was still filled with a festive and festive atmosphere. But just as I was saying greetings, I heard a piece of news from the queen's mouth:
" Concubine Yan went away yesterday, and her body was restrained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It must have been carried out of the palace now. I will let you know that there is a missing sister in the palace. "
Qinrou was shocked. The Queen had mentioned this Concubine Yan on the day she entered the palace. She didn't expect to hear news about her again at this time.
That time! Is Concubine Yan’s health already in bad shape?
The old people in the palace knew this, but they were also shocked. Concubine Yan was indeed just going through the day. They all knew this, but yesterday?
Many people frowned, and Concubine Ezhuo frowned even more. She was a concubine who entered the palace seven years ago, and she is a Manchu. Even if she is a Manchu, Mongolian, and Han family, , but the discrimination rooted in the bones cannot be eliminated by simply eliminating it. Concubine E Zhuo is a typical example of this.
Hearing this, Concubine E Zhuo's eyebrows showed a look of disgust, "Yesterday? Yan did not choose a good time, but chose yesterday. This is not deliberately ignoring the royal family's face. ”
It was as if she could choose the day on which she would die. It is a serious crime for a palace concubine to commit suicide, which can range from injuring the whole family and neglecting the goddaughter to being ungrateful, to leading to banishment and execution of the whole family.
"It is indeed not a good day to die," Concubine Hesheli also frowned, with anger in her tone, "Died during a big festival, which ruined the joy of the palace."
According to the rules of the palace, mourning is not allowed during festivals. If it is serious, the queen who is the master of the harem will be reprimanded and even have the power of the palace taken away, or the queen will be deposed on this ground.
The Queen is not in a good mood. Others may not say anything now, but if she mentions it in the future, it will be another crime.
The queen said: "I have written a letter to apologize to the emperor, the empress dowager and the empress dowager."
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is both a state banquet and a family banquet. As a queen, she caused flaws in this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, which is her fault for not governing the palace strictly.
As for the queen, she rarely went to the emperor to plead guilty. This time in so many years, her face was completely trampled on the ground!
"The Queen is conscientious and conscientious, but Concubine Yan's life was too much. She interfered with the royal banquet and made the Queen feel wronged. She died and it was easier for her." Concubine Dong also agreed. It is the Tao.
Everyone has their eyes open and will never mention a mistake made by the emperor, the empress dowager, or the empress dowager. However, as the master of the harem, if such a mistake occurs, the empress must bear the responsibility no matter how much responsibility she has. It just depends on whether the person in charge pursues the matter or not.
The queen knows it well! Neither the emperor nor the empress dowager nor the empress dowager will hold her accountable. But she finally accepted this mistake.
"I am in charge of the Sixth Palace. If something like this happened, it is indeed my fault." The Queen said calmly. She had already made it clear what she needed to say. She didn't want to mention the matter again. She just looked at the pregnant woman. Concubine Nala and Concubine Ma Jia expressed concern:
"Although the Yan family has gone, the Yilan Hall where she lives is still being cleaned and tidied up." Fu Hall; Li Jingxuan, the main hall behind Chuxiu Palace, and the east and west side halls of the back hall are called Fengguang Room and Yilan Hall.
"Although Ma Jia and Na La are sensible, I still want to remind you to pay more attention. You two are pregnant. Unlike other sisters, you have been pregnant in recent days. Don't get close there, lest you bump into the little brother in your belly. "
Dead people are inherently unlucky, and the Yan family died young, so the funeral was extremely violent. It is even more unlucky to die during a big festival. The ancients believed that the hostility was even more serious. It is meant to make the living uneasy, and the fetus in the belly is weak and cannot bear the impact the most.
"You two slaves understand." Concubine Ma Jia and Concubine Nala both responded softly. The two of them also knew in their hearts that they would never go to Chuxiu Palace. They also thought it was unlucky and were worried about a collision. "Yes!" The queen nodded, "Besides this matter, there are no other big things. If the other sisters are taboo, just avoid it." The queen also warned this.
"Yes, I know this. Thank you, the Empress, for your concern." Concubine Li said.
No one mentioned the concubine Yan who died yesterday, and it was hard to mention it.
No one thinks that she is also a poor woman, and she is helpless about her own death. Even if some people have such thoughts, they all wisely choose to keep their mouths shut. Those who survive in the palace may not be the smartest, but they must know how to keep their mouths shut.
Qinrou thought, everyone is pitiful. Living is a waste of effort. She is really cowardly and can only pretend not to see her pity. Because they are all poor people, no one is much better than anyone else.
"Hadanara's outfit looks very good today. When I first looked at the material, I knew that this outfit would look good on you!" the queen said with a smile.
It was just a temporary loss of composure, and no one could see anything about it. The above incident was over. The queen is also virtuous.
“It’s the Queen who has good taste!” Qinrou was suddenly called out, but she quickly reacted.
She doesn't like to talk. She goes to crowded places and just pretends that she is not the person and only talks to her.
The palace dress Qinrou wore today was the one that the queen ordered the knitting room to drive out when she entered the palace. The palace clothes of this group of concubines all fit well.
It should be said that the first batch of palace clothes for each batch of concubines who entered the palace were all suitable. In the future, maybe there will be some minor flaws?
“Clothes are flattering, sister, you don’t have to be modest, especially when they are worn on you, they should look particularly good.” Concubine Dong also said with a smile. His eyebrows and words were all very kind and welcoming.
Qinrou smiled slightly, and then became quiet again, interpreting quietness vividly.
“This slave feels that he is also very good-looking, so he has raised his average appearance to an upper-middle level. It’s all the queen’s trouble.” Another Nala touched his face. , said in regular script in a humorous tone. It's actually very eye-catching and the performance is very good.
This is another Nala clan who entered the palace together with Qinrou, namely Huifa Nala clan Wulinzhu.
"It's all sisters who are born beautiful." The queen also replied. Manchu and Mongolian women are generally taller, but they are also spirited. The spirit in them is rare in Han women, just as the suppleness in Han women is rarely seen in Manchu women.
But those who can be selected into the palace must at least have good facial features. If she develops one or two points of charm, she will naturally be called a beauty, but unfortunately few people do it. But everyone can say nice things.
“Not as good as the Empress, I am such a firefly. If I get a compliment from the Empress, I will have the capital to boast to others.” Li Shi Jiahui was also one of the concubines who entered the palace. .
Everyone knows that someone in this group has become active! Also, someone wants to get ahead!
